| Pub in [[Locale Marylebone|Marylebone]]. |
Pub in Marylebone. [[Rowley Birkin QC]] visited on a Friday evening in January 2008. Quiet place, only apparent noise was customers chatting. I thought there was no piped music at all until a lull in the conversations when I heard some very faint music coming from the speaker (and I was standing right below it). |

Everyone else seemed to be a regular, probably local, all aged 30s to 60s. The A-board outside advertises piano playing 8.30-ish to 11.00-ish Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. I doubt the place has been thoroughly refurbished for 30 or so years, but it's not run down. It's very clean (gents' is especially good), and I wouldn't be surprised if they simply get a painter/decorator/handyman friend/relative/regular to give the place a lick of paint/do odd jobs from time to time. |

On Bob's March 2008 visit there was a noticeable odd smell, reminiscent of a hairdresser's shop.
